I wouldn't waste too much time figuring out the why. It's a computer. It
just does stuff sometimes, and if you find the fix, take care of it and move
on.  It's been my experience that occasionally some program will just freeze
or otherwise go haywire, and if you force quit it and then open it again a
minute or so later, life goes on. Maybe it's a Microsoft issue, since I've
had that problem most often with Entourage. By the way, I'm curious why you
got so many answers regarding FireFox when your question revolved around
PowerPoint. They have absolutely nothing in common that I'm aware of. I
guess that's just how these lists work. It's sort of like the story that
starts at one end of the bar, and by the time it gets to the other end, it's
barely recognizable.
